Why You’ll Love Baked Feta Eggs

Who needs to step out for breakfast every day when you can make these ☕ cafe-worthy Baked Feta Eggs at home in less than 30 minutes ? This dish could not be any easier to put together, and the result is a flavor bomb of creamy goodness. All it takes is cracking the eggs into the baking dish and setting the oven timer! In just 20 minutes, you have the creamiest , silkiest egg scramble — a real upgrade from the skillet version. You can adjust the bake time to suit your preference, just remember the 🥚 eggs will continue to cook with the residual heat after mixing with the feta. These perfectly fluffy eggs are delicious on toast, in a breakfast burrito, or served egg salad-style in a 🌯 wrap, pita or sandwich.

How to Prepare

🌡️ Preheat the oven to 400F (200C).

🫒 Add the block of feta to the middle of an 8 by 8 inch baking dish . Drizzle the dish and feta with olive oil.

🥚 Crack the eggs into the baking dish (around the block of feta), and season with salt and pepper to taste.

⏲️ Bake for 20-22 minutes or until the eggs have set. I like a softer egg, so feel free to reduce the bake time according to how you like your eggs.

🥄 Take the baking dish out of the oven and stir the warm feta together with the eggs.

🥪 Serve on toast, wraps, sandwiches, or alongside bacon/sausage for breakfast!

Nonna’s Tip 🥚

The cooking time for the eggs is totally up to you. Remember, they will continue to cook through residual heat, so the 18-20-minute mark is my sweet spot.

Variations and Substitutions for Baked Feta Eggs

  1. Instead of feta cheese, you can opt for goat cheese or a Boursin block —whether plain or any herbed variety you prefer.
  2. You can add veggies like spinach, 🍅 cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, or mushrooms to the dish before baking. Just chop them up and scatter them around the feta and eggs.

Common Questions

Instead of feta cheese, you can opt for goat cheese or a Boursin block—whether plain or any herbed variety you prefer.

If you have leftovers, simply warm them in the microwave the next day. You could also serve this cold as you would an egg salad.

This recipe is so perfect for scaling up. If you’re feeding a crowd or serving this for brunch, use a bigger baking dish (such as a 9 x 13 ), add two blocks of cheese, and double the eggs.

Absolutely! You can add veggies like spinach, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, or mushrooms to the dish before baking. Just chop them up and scatter them around the feta and eggs.

The eggs are ready when the whites are fully cooked and the yolks are at your desired consistency. For a softer yolk, bake closer to 18-20 minutes. If you prefer fully set yolks, bake for a bit longer, around 22 minutes.
